Httpbin Example Workload

This is an example workload that serves HTTP requests using httpbin and periodically simulates stress traffic.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Helm
• Kubectl

Preparation

• Make sure that you are connected to the correct Kubernetes cluster:

kubectl config current-context

You should see the name of the cluster you want to install the workload on.

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone git@github.com:zesty-co/httpbin-example-workload.git

2. Navigate to the directory

cd httpbin-example-workload

3. Install the helm chart

helm upgrade zesty-httpbin-example ./ --install --namespace zesty-examples --create-namespace --values values.yaml

Manual trigger

The stress test runs periodically once a week by default, but in case you want to manually trigger the stress traffic, you can manually run the job:

 kubectl create job --namespace zesty-examples --from=cronjob/stress-test run-stress

Uninstalling

• To remove the example workload, run the following command:

helm delete zesty-httpbin-example --namespace zesty-examples
